Nov. 25, 2010-Thanksgiving Day Scenes From Home

Sometimes it is hard for us to decide where home is; is it here on our boat which has been our home for 24 years where ever it has been located or is it back in Washington State, where we haven't lived since 1996, or is it where our family lives? Well not the last since we have family all over the USA.

Right now I tend to think of Washington State as "Home". Yes, when we are out and about in Mauritius or any place where we have travelled, when we say, "it will be good to get home", we are talking about being back aboard Wings.

But when we feel a bit lonely and are missing our family we realize that "home" is still in the US, in Washington State.

We have had some wonderful visits back home, most recently earlier this year when we traveled around the US and visited all of our family.

My brother Tom and his wife live in North bend Washington and This photo was taken by Kim looking out the window of their North Bend House after the big snowfall this week and she posted it on here facebook page.

About Me

Two people: Fred & Judy , drawn to each other and yet somehow drawn also to the sea, and both intrigued by the idea of living aboard.
I saw her, blond and asymmetrical, beautiful, boarding another’s boat and I followed her and wooed her, or she wooed me. That was 1985 and we fell in love and we thought that to buy a boat and make a life together on the water was only natural.
So we did.
Fate.
The boat was WINGS.
For the next ten years we lived on Wings in Seattle, had jobs in the city, sailed every chance we got, and 40-50 times a year, went racing. It was great.
Then we left Seattle and began our cruising life. We voyaged across the world, across the seven seas, to faraway places, and made them our own.
Wings was our home, and is still, and we lived wherever the sea met the land and people welcomed us, as they did everywhere.
For thirty years we’ve lived this life, and more to come, we hope.
Join us now, and sail the seas.
